Finding Your Voice with Your Vote (Panel Discussion)

Get inspired to honor a legacy with the power of the vote. Casting a vote in an election is the greatest tool of political power citizens of a democracy possess. The ability to exercise this right has been fought for over centuries, spanning generations. Join the conversation as a panel of experts explore featured clips from the PBS program John Lewis: Get in the Way, and discuss the history behind voting rights, breakdown how your vote is counted, and share how you can harness this essential tool of democracy to honor the legacy of advocates that came before us.

Scheduled panel includes:

• Christina L. Myers, PhD, assistant professor in school of journalism at MSU, consortium core faculty with communication solutions for diverse society, and faculty advisor of MSUABJ
• Suchrita Webster, director of student and community relations at MSU and co-chair of MSU Vote
